“They do believe in themselves,” Clarke said of his players when previewing the game today. “They understand that we’re playing difficult opponents. They understand also that the squad could be stronger, everyone knows that. All these things are there to be seen.
“I don’t speak about it too much because I feel it’s disrespectful to the boys that are in the squad. We have to concentrate on who we have, who we have here. We have to go out against Portugal.
“We know we have to be very good at everything we do in the game. Hopefully we can get the result that might just change the whole mood about the place.”
